Evening Primrose oil has been used for centuries by native American Indians for its amazing healing and therapeutic properties. The potential benefits of evening primrose oil can be attributed to essential fatty acids found in this herb. GLA or gamma linolenic acid is known for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties. GLA, when ingested in the body, is converted into prostaglandins. This helps in reducing the symptoms related to inflammation and pain. It relieves discomfort associated with menstruation, menopause, endometriosis and fibrocystic breasts.

Another major benefit of this oil is on skin. Hormonal fluctuations can result in various skin problems. The essential fatty acids found in primrose oil help in balancing these female hormones, which in turn help to treat various skin related problems. Regular intake of evening primrose supplement reduces inflammation of skin cells, promotes cell growth and keeps your skin firm and elastic. EPO has also been shown to provide relief for eczema sufferers

Studies have found that GLA helps in alleviating joint pain and swelling. According to a study done on subjects with rheumatoid arthritis, it was found that those taking evening primrose supplements showed fewer symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Further benefits have been noted for people afflicted by osteoporosis (the "brittle bone" syndrome commonly affecting the elderly, especially women)

It has also been found to be effective in preventing nerve damage due to diabetes. Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to diabetic neuropathy, in which the nerve gets affected and symptoms like tingling, numbness and loss of sensation are noticed in the affected part. Studies confirmed that evening primrose supplements can prevent and reverse the symptoms of mild diabetic neuropathy.
